I did it!!!! I finished the loathsome reports for the last time. And I took a break and went to the nursery around lunch time and bought some more plants. I think I have enough to fill in the spots that are left, but then again, who knows?
I am starving today, and I realized I didn't take my shot on Tuesday, so its been like 14 days. And being home, I'm drinking lots of tea, and going to the bathroom every hour it seems. So I thought I'd weigh myself, despite being dressed etc. Because I must be letting go of some fluids. Umm, no. I did not like the number, I am out of my happy range. Shot on board.
On the positive, I will definitely meet my protein and calcium goals today. I'm hoping eating more at home will lead to more days of meeting nutritional goals, and a down tick on the weight again.
I have 4 more classroom days, and then one grading day ahead of me. I think it's starting to sink in at last. I savored being home today, even if I was working. The birds are singing their hearts out. So lovely. Tomorrow we go to my parents house.

Sore today from my fall and a bit of an uncomfortable night's sleep with my banged up knee, but I will live to be knocked down another day!
I'm showered and ready for my dentist appointment later this morning. The landscape guy came by and they fixed the lights in one of the fountains and tried to find the short in the driveway lights to no avail. Their main light guy is out of town, so they'll bring him back later to try to find the problem.
It's a beautiful day here and the forest is happy for having had a much needed drink.
Hope everyone is having a great day!
Sometimes after a long week on Friday when I'm going to sleep I say, hello bed, I've missed you! You're giving those vibes :) How delicious to finally sleep comfortably when you're really tired.
She was already getting home health so I called them today to see if they could help her bathe. They will assess her needs tomorrow.

Your daughter has a good head on her shoulders - she will find some compatible. These days that means not only sharing similar views but politics (didn't used to be so divisive).

Since the butterfly farm is a must do for many people, I'm hoping you really enjoy it. I always really enjoy bird aviaries. I find you need to sit quietly for a bit, and then you start noticing the birds.
I am watching the local news while doing my last ever quarterly progress reports. I despise them so much, but here I am, drinking tea, wearing jammies, windows open and listening to bird song. Could be (and had been), much worse.
DD is internet dating. She shared about a terrible encounter, the guy began making racist comments, and disparaging homeless people. So lots of toads to deal with. Meanwhile, I guy who works in IT at the VA asked her out. He had helped her with tech a few times, and she thought he was cute and nice, and he must have thought the same. They went on a second date yesterday. Although DH and I are dying to ask how it went, we decided we that in these matters, we receive information as it is offered, and do not pursue it. She did call us after the first date, and she sounded animated, and they planned a second, so we're happy she had a nice time. Unlike the racist guy. DD did say there was nothing to clue her in on his profile, so she is going to require more emailing/messaging before she agrees to a meet up. One of her friends pointed out a good guy wouldn't find it problematic and if someone did, it's probably not someone for her.
Well, back to work...

We didn't go to the resort next door for Happy Hour after all. We went to our own resort because they had a woman singing and it wasn't busy. Dinner at a New Mexican restaurant across the street. Really fresh and tasty and fairly healthy (not a lot of added goop). The reviews were mostly good but some people complained about small portions, which of course was actually a plus for me. Not too expensive either.
The rental car never moved yesterday but it will today. Boredom has set in. We will do our morning walk and then I will do water aerobics while DH goes to the gym. We plan to actually go to the Butterfly Farm today, out to lunch, then pick our friends up at the airport just after 2. Tonight we have dinner at a restaurant on the highest point of the island near the lighthouse. Hopefully there will finally be a sunset as we haven't seen one yet. It looks like there will be more sun today, so maybe?
Water aerobics is much more challenging here than I expected. He works the arms and shoulders a lot for strength in ways that are tougher than my Florida class, but good for me.
Time to get walking. Have a thirsty Thursday!

Hmmm...I use these in my coffee too. I don't think coffeemate would be any healthier would it???

Well said: "Cancer is a thief in so many ways, and peace of mind is one of the things it steals." My SIL lives through it every time she has an appointment upcoming with her oncologist.
